New unusual lead in Madeleine McCann case
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The investigation into the whereabouts of Madeleine McCann has taken an unusual turn, with reports authorities are investigating a clairvoyant’s claim that he knows where the toddler is buried.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">McCann was three when she went missing in 2007 while holidaying with her family in Portugal.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The mystery has since captivated people around the world, with many wondering where the missing toddler could be.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Well-known clairvoyant Michael Schneider has now provided authorities with the exact coordinates where he believes her body will be found.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Though sceptics have been quick to dismiss the clairvoyant’s claims, German prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters is open to pursuing it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wolters told local media that clairvoyants have been successfully used in past investigations.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Schneider said he is confident Maddie is buried about 10 kilometres away from where her family was holidaying in Praia da Luz.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I do not give out such information lightly and without constantly questioning myself because I am very well aware of the responsibility of what I do,” Schneider told </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Mirror</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Earlier this year, the team investigating the disappearance asked for more funding.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At the time, Wolters said they had “gathered new evidence that adds further to the case” they are building against their main suspect, Christian Brueckner.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I’m afraid I cannot tell you what it is but it strengthens our work,” he told local media.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I cannot disclose the type of evidence we have been given, it is not forensic I can tell you that, but it is new circumstantial evidence which all adds to the working theory that he is the man responsible.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Brueckner is currently serving seven years in jail for a crime that took place two years before Maddie disappeared.</span></p>
